Well that went differently to the film…some very strong lessons to be learnt here, least of all making crazy sacrifices for some bloke you barely know!

A very short and sweet story. I had the privilege of listening to the icon Leigh-Anne Pinnock narrate this and thoroughly enjoyed it!

I'm always interested in the different tones that different fairytale retellings have. This version is a very solemn, sober one It keeps the original ending, not the Disney inspired one, and also includes The Tin Soldier at the end.

You're probably familiar with the stories already, so what's going to draw you to this version is the artwork. It's beautiful, detailed without being busy, old fashioned without being off putting. The cover has hints of gold and pearl, befitting the story.

This is a wonderful present for any child, or for anyone who appreciates a beautiful story.
